Matans Shooter 579

Leeha-ssi! Where have you been lurking around?

Its been a while, Ha Leeha.

What? Where did you sell your gun?

You seem happy. Did you manage to accomplish another quest on your own?

Bobae, Tale, Kijung, and Hyein directed their friendly greetings towards Leeha.

From just the casual greetings they exchanged, it was evident what each persons nature was.

Nice to see you all again. Ive been dealing with this and that. Hyein, you can stop being a sage and become a fortune teller, Leeha joked as he returned their greetings.

He was already aware that whispers about the first wave had spread throughout the community.

The rumour that spread the most fervently was precisely about the experience points. The rumour claimed that almost all the users close to ranking in the first wave had levelled up. This fact had quickly reached all gamers.

Consequently, Juma City began to buzz with activity when whispers about the second wave began to spread.

But in a week, with an 80% probability? Who told you that?

Bailephus. It was what the dragon said, so people trusted it.

Hmm Alexander

Whenever Leeha checked people through his friend window, Alexanders location was invariably near Juma.

Given that he was constantly hunting to maintain his rank 1 position, the fact that he had stopped moving might have seemed strange. But on consideration, he thought that maybe this wasnt the case.

Could he be preparing something to level up faster considering the current situation?

Exactly. Juma City is the hottest thing in Middle Earth right now, isnt it? Not just the top ten, but probably all the top 100 rankers will gather here! I saw Kidd and Luger earlier. They seemed to be deciding on a good location too.

Kijung was acting like an excited child.

Maybe because he had survived the first wave with plenty of energy left, he seemed more excited about levelling up again rather than worrying about the upcoming second wave.

Even after a week, Ive only had Black Bass on me for ten days

If he could find Black Bass, he would have instantly decided to participate in the battle.

But for now, things are chaotic. With his musket and two pistols, it was definite that it would be impossible to fight with his current abilities.

So, you are attending this time, right?

For real? Youre coming too? Okay! Thats a big thank you from our guild.

Why are you happy?

What? If you cover us, our death rate will drastically decrease, wont it?

Shit! Do you think Ill necessarily be by your guild?

Then? No?

Kijung tilted his head as if he was saying something obvious.

It was difficult for Leeha to argue. If he had Black Bass, there was a high probability that he would have set his base in a place with a good view of his guild.

Sorry, but dont expect me to cover you. I cant use my gun until then. For now, Ill just have to fight with my bare hands.

Bare hands? Then youre just

Kijung stopped talking and swallowed his saliva. Leeha quickly guessed what he was about to say.

Useless?

No, what do you mean useless! Would I think of you that way?

Hehe, whether Im useful or not Ill show you on that day.

Leeha just smiled.

Without Black Bass, he was curious about how much strength he had left.

By the way, Kijung. I didnt come here because of this. I wanted to ask something.

What is it?

Leeha brought up a topic he had suddenly remembered he was going to ask about. He saw Luger and Kidd somewhere in Juma, and checked the system notifications that appeared right before meeting Onix once again.

I reached 100% in assimilation, what does it mean by adjusting the specific stats?

Assimilation rate adjustment application approved.

Assimilation rate change target: Applicant Ha Leeha

Assimilation rate change, current assimilation rate: 100%

From now on, you can enjoy sensations in Middle Earth equal to that of reality.

[Please be careful as inappropriate play can harm the applicants body.]

[While the assimilation rate is at 100%, you can adjust each of the specific stats.]

While reading the notice, everyones gaze was focused on Leeha.

They looked at him as though they had heard something they never heard before, which made Leeha feel embarrassed.

* *Character Window!

Yet, most of the things didnt really need to be touched.

Because what mattered to Leeha at the moment wasnt constitution, mind, or anything like that.Stat Adjustment: Agility.

[You have achieved 100% Agility.]

[Agility stat is divided into five subcategories.]

[Before Adjustment: Equal Distribution]

Agility: Running: 20%

Agility: Reflexes: 20%

Agility: Balance: 20%

Agility: Hand-eye Coordination: 20%

Agility: Kinesthetic Vision: 20%

[Please adjust the subcategories as desired and confirm your settings.]

I knew it! That kid! It seemed weird that he could run faster than me! He must have been taking advantage of this!

It was impossible to know Kidds exact stats but there was one certainty.

Currently, his agility stat is higher than Kidds. Even though Kidd started playing Middle Earth before him and was the first to earn the title of Musketeer, stats are a separate matter.

After collecting achievements and increasing his stats, he still felt like he was always falling behind when running against Kidd.

This must have been his secret all along shoot with your feet.

After hearing this phrase from Browlis, the sudden increase in Kidds speed also made sense. He must have adjusted his subcategories as well.

Lets start by increasing Running to 100%. He adjusted the Running subcategory to 100%. It was possible to test because adjusting each subcategory was not a one-time thing.

You can only do this within a town and when you havent been in a fight for 20 minutes.

This was Middle Earths measure to prevent sudden changes in the outcome of a battle through the adjustment of stats.

As long as these rules were followed, there were no restrictions on how many times it could be adjusted.

Alright, then lets adjust the Running stat to-

Whooooosh-

-what- whaaat?!

Bwoooooshhhh.

Oooooohhhh!

Just taking a step was wreaking havoc. His mistake was putting all of the massive 3,500 Agility points into the Running subcategory!

Ahhhh!

Is that a tornado?!

Something just flew by!

Im sorry! Im sorry!

He was yelling as he ran, but no one could see him, and they could hardly hear him.

With his speed now, it was even hard for him to perceive the world around him.

Stop, stop, stop!

Screeeeeee-!

Only after putting force into both his legs to stop himself was he able to actually come to a halt.

He had run from the right outskirts of Juma City where there were fewer people to test, but unexpectedly his body had already reached the left fence.

This is like when I caught that roadrunner.

Whilst murmuring, his lips were twisted into a broad smile. If investing this much into Running resulted in this, then what would happen to the other subcategories?

No, wait. The stat says Running but does it only apply to actually running?

He looked around, then crouched down on the ground. Would crawling also be classified as Running?

He adopted a low crouch.

Even though it provides the best cover, crawling is the slowest mode of travel due to our physical limitations.

Alright, lets head to the square- whoooa!

As soon as he started, he found that his understanding had been completely turned upside down.

Impossible for a human? Maybe, but it was definitely possible in Middle Earth.

As his elbows dug into the floor with each forward movement, it catapulted him swiftly forwards, like a snake slithering at an impossible speed. No snake in Middle Earth could possibly move as fast as him now.

Wha- What is going on now?!

Wh-Who is that? What are they doing?

Is that a monster? How- How can he crawl so fast?

Its a bug! A hacker! Hes a hacker!
